Mini-Map Bug

On version DawnOfTheDead 6.0 Beta 5, I was experiencing a bug with the mini-map, were it was not showing the areas I had explored, instead just staying dark. Once this happened in one game, it happened for all games. When I played version DawnOfTheDead 6.0 B7b my mini-map was working the way it was suppose to. But today when I picked the advanced marksman and learned the skill "rifle scope", the mini-map bug happened again. I do not know if it was the advanced marksman that caused the bug to happen or the skill, but I do know that the mini-map was working fine in previous games before I picked the advanced marksmen, and I did no notice the mini-map bug until after I had learned the skill. I hope this helps you to fix this bug.

do you have the replay of this bug? if not, could you try and reproduce the conditions that resulted in the bug, save the replay, and post a link here to it?

The bug is reproduced in every single game I play once it has happened it is like it is permanent. It just happened so will see if I can find the replay, but I am not quite sure on how to post it so you can see it.

Upload the file to a website like megaupload.com, and post the link here to the forum. We would then click the link to download the replay to our computer

good luck on that... you missed the part where he said it's on BETA 5, wich makes it unplayable (crash at load) with a recent WC3 version...

the best way to fix your problems is to play the newest version, not such an old version...

Here is the link to the replay that shows the bug. It's not the replay when we bug orginally happened, but when you look at the mini-map you should see it.

I is on version DawnOfTheDead 6.0 B7b also, I first experienced the bug on DawnOfTheDead 6.0 Beta 5 which is what I thought I had made clear in my first post. Hopefully this will clear it up.

ok, i didn't read properly myself

it's ok mish, we're only human

I checked the replay and came up with the following solution:

Right to your minimap you'll see a button that says "Toggle minimap terrain". If the "bug" appears then click it and it should be alright again. You've probably pressed this button or used it's shortcut (ALT+T) without noticing.

i didn't watch the replay but after reading s3rius' post i already know what happened (i believe). now i feel like opening a thread asking people if they use friend/foe colors or everyone's actual color lol.

You were right. I must have accidently clicked it. Thanks for your help, and I am sorry for wasting your time.

we were glad to help. hope you enjoy the map

while we are on the topic of bugs. did anyone else know that your leadership aura can effect the dogs on the dog mission? i just found that out during a bootcamp.

I did not know that, i will look into it. As always, replays are VERY helpful when reporting bugs.

yeah me and nub did bootcamp and saw it on one of the doggies

Have you been using the host bot this game? If so, there should be a replay of it. (Unless you've disabled this feature, Gimli)

there is an auto save feature for the replays, but do to the MASSIVE amount of replays there was and would be (my bot has hosted atleast 2,000 games) I did not keep it enabled.

Well I can't explain it, but he is right. The mutant dogs do receive the leadership aura bonus. The first occurrence is at 51:00.

yeaaah... thank you gimli. i didnt know gimli was looking into it. but i also have a replay with me and p00p checking it out i can also uploaded for 2 different accounts on this bug
